North Temperate Lakes LTER: Physical Limnology of Primary Study Lakes 1981 - current

Parameters characterizing the physical limnology of the eleven primary lakes (Allequash, Big Muskellunge, Crystal, Sparkling, Trout, bog lakes 27-02 [Crystal Bog] and 12-15 [Trout Bog], Mendota, Monona, Wingra and Fish) are measured at one station in the deepest part of each lake at 0.25 m to 1 m depth intervals depending on the lake. Measured parameters in the data set include water temperature, vertical penetration of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), dissolved oxygen in mg/L and percent saturation. Sampling Frequency: fortnightly during ice-free season - every 6 weeks during ice-covered season for the northern lakes. The southern lakes are similar except that sampling occurs monthly during the fall and typically only once during the winter (depending on ice conditions). Number of sites: 11. More information on NTL’s primary study lakes can be found at: https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-ntl&identifier=434. Please consult NTL's website (https://lter.limnology.wisc.edu) for information on experimental lake manipulations and the Wisconsin DNR's website (https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/) for management activities.

Limnological data for 17 mountain lakes in Banff and Yoho National Parks (Canadian Rocky Mountains) from 2015 to 2022

From 2015 to 2022, mid-summer vertical profiles of temperature, chlorophyll a fluorescence, turbidity, and fDOM were collected in a set of 17 lakes in Banff and Yoho National Parks, Canada. These lakes are located across montane, sub-alpine and alpine ecoregions and they vary widely in elevation (1300-2423 m a.s.l.), surface area (1.5-116 ha) and maximum depth (2.4-39.2 m). Eight of the lakes receive surface and/or groundwater hydrologic inputs from glaciers within the catchment, and the other nine lakes are not glacially-fed. Vertical profiles were collected in each lake within one or two days of an index sampling date between late July and early August using an Exo2 vertical profiling sonde. Measurements were taken at 1 s intervals as the sonde was lowered slowly through the water column, and then averaged over 0.5 m depth intervals. In addition, attenuation rates were estimated for 305 nm, 320 nm, and 380 nm, and PAR (400-700 nm) as the slopes of log-linear regressions of irradiance vs. depth. Downwelling irradiance measured with a Biospherical Instruments underwater radiometer. Vertical Profile Data are contained in Can_Rocky_Mtn_Lakes_Profiles.csv. Attenuation rates are contained in Can_Rocky_Mtn_Lakes_Kd.csv. Information about study lakes is contained in Can_Rocky_Mtn_Lakes_Site_Information.csv.

MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Coral Growth in Temperature and Alkalinity Treatments: Edmunds 2011 Limnology & Oceanography

These data were generated from a one-time experiment in support of a coral ecophysiology manuscript; published in Edmunds, PJ (2011) Limnology and Oceanography 56: 2402-2410 doi: 10.4319/lo.2011.56.6.2402 I tested the hypothesis that the effects of high pCO2 and temperature on massive Porites spp. (Scleractinia) are modified by heterotrophic feeding (zooplanktivory). Small colonies of massive Porites spp. from the back reef of Moorea, French Polynesia, were incubated for 1 month under combinations of temperature (29.3 C vs. 25.6 C), pCO2 (41.6 vs. 81.5 Pa), and feeding regimes (none vs. ad libitum access to live Artemia spp.), with the response assessed using calcification and biomass. Area-normalized calcification was unaffected by pCO2, temperature, and the interaction between the two, although it increased 40% with feeding. Biomass increased 35% with feeding and tended to be higher at 25.6 C compared to 29.3 C, and as a result, biomass-normalized calcification statistically was unaffected by feeding, but was depressed 12-17% by high pCO2, with the effect accentuated at 25.6 C. These results show that massive Porites spp. has the capacity to resist the effects on calcification of 1 month exposure to 81.5 Pa pCO2 through heterotrophy and changes in biomass. Area-normalized calcification is sustained at high pCO2 by a greater biomass with a reduced biomass-normalized rate of calcification. This mechanism may play a role in determining the extent to which corals can resist the long-term effects of ocean acidification.
